  • Colonia Court Care Home, Colchester
Colonia Court offers nursing, residential and dementia care, as well as having a dedicated unit for people living with Huntington’s disease. It can also offer a space for people to rest, relax and recover with short stays too. It could be a few weeks to experience living here, an advanced booking if you/ your loved ones are planning a holiday or break, a month while recovering from an operation or a more long-term move. Whatever the reason, their doors are open.

Situated in a pleasant, leafy suburb, Colonia Court offers residents a modern and purpose-built home surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens. Just a short bus ride away, the home is within easy access to Colchester. There are also shops nearby for residents to visit that are within walking distance.

It is important for residents to feel at home, so it creates a friendly environment with an individually appropriate balance of care and independence. Enjoying food is an important part of life. The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients and try to cater for all ethnic groups. Soon after a resident arrives at Colonia Court, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.

There is a real sense of community at Colonia Court. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests. So whether your loved one already has a hobby or would like to take up a new one, there are lots of exciting activities to get involved in. From picnics in the garden and lunch clubs to pamper days and exercise groups, the home has a full social calendar.

Review from Sandra H (Wife of Resident) published on 27 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Wonderful, caring staff in this specialist care home for Huntington's Disease. Standard of care is excellent. Staff are a good team - qualified and unqualified staff work together to promote a caring, calm, loving environment. It has a real family feeling and relatives are always included in care planning
and always made welcome. Managerial staff are satisfactory but it is those on the coal face who are real heroes. I just wish they had greater recognition for working in this challenging environment.

Review from Sally G (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Making the decision to move a loved one from their home to a care home is often distressing. We visited over 20 homes in S.E. England to find the right one for mum, seeing the beautiful gardens, bright modern interior and pretty en-suite bedrooms made BUPA's Colonia Court easily the best. Actually
moving mum in has also been a pleasure thanks to the amazingly wonderful staff, from management, administration and carers nothing has been too much trouble. I cannot express enough my gratitude for the incredible support and kindness everyone has shown. Thanks to the staff, it took just a couple of hours for mum to happily settle in, and we can now return home to France knowing that we have done our very best for her, and that she is in the best place possible.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Colonia Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.706 for Colonia Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 326 Ratings = 4.706
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Colonia Court Care Home is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 123 registered maximum number of service users is 24.6, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
